What a week – Friday already and for the first time in over a year I have sat at my desk every day to begin to relearn how to use a computer.
One big change is that I am now all Apple – so most of the programs I have been using for over twelve years are not relevant, new text editors, new file management systems – I’m not sure my brain can cope with this – the big benefit is that I no longer have to suffer the slings and arrows of Microsoft – I once thought I could not use a computer without Firefox, but,believe me, Safari rocks.
Where have I been since last June? For the first three months I was trying to help a company who rent luxury apartments in Paris, I thought of them as friends and believed they had a good service and system, boy oh boy was I wrong. After three months it was as clear as crystal that they had no intention of paying their debts and the information I had been given was a pack of lies. So back to the sunny South of France and I totally immersed myself in getting our rambling old house into a good, high quality commercial venture. From next week you can come to our home in Montblanc (by the Mediterranean not Mont Blanc in the bumpy bit in the middle of Europe).  I have started to build a website describing what we can offer at VillaRoquette.com We hope to share a glass of wine (or three) with you here soon.
An interesting year – but it is good to be back again.
Good to see you back. we have missed you !
